What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introduction and importanceGastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD) is frequently associated with obesity. Excess body weight, particularly central adiposity, with a concomitantly raised intra-abdominal pressure, leads to a reduced lower esophageal sphincter (LES) pressure and GERD. The lax LES essentially causes acid reflux in the lower esophagus. CASE PRESENTATION: We report a 44-year-old woman who presented to our surgical clinic with heartburn and acid reflux, associated with difficulty in weight management. The patient had a BMI of 35 kg/m CLINICAL DISCUSSION: The patient was planned for a single-stage Transoral Incisionless Fundoplication (TIF) and laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy for her GERD and obesity, respectively. TIF was performed by two experienced endoscopists, one controlling the EsophyX device and the other ensuring continuous direct visualization of the field of work with the endoscope. Following the procedure, laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy was performed during the same session. The patient had an uneventful recovery.
conclusionEight months after surgery, the patient reported resolution of her GERD symptoms and a weight loss of 20 kg.
